    Hi guys, I was given this sata jet but know nothing about it. it’s got a msb cap with a 1.3 nozzle.
    any ideas on what type of paint this gun is for and what psi it should be run at? thanks!

    they seem to be a conventional top coat gun. require big pressure, like 50psi. the msb stands for medium solid.

    Hey mate, if it was my gun. I’d strip clean it, service it and reset up the gun, there normally used for smart repairs or minor scratches the needle size starts an 0.6 the one I have has a 0.8 on it. In which I do smart spot repairs or wheels etc something that is bit tricky to do with a normal sized gun.

    With it having a 1.3 on it is think the old owner would use it for doin bumpers, mirror covers and wheels, I’d say he used it for clear coat as 1.3 would give a nice finish, the idea of it being a jet is to keep the repair small. So is say if you used it for base coat the paint would go on to wet or a to bigger fan, that’s why I’ve got a 0.8 for base.

    I’d say you could use it for hs solids but ull ha e to play with the gun and set up to get the finish you want.
    Depending on the use you want to use it for will depend on the psi. Ie sport repaid or whole bumper paint 🙂

    cheers for the tech details, and bloody hell i’ve never used a gun above 30 psi! i’ll try it out though, it was a gift from a guy in germany that used to paint.

    How well do guns like these atomize since your spraying at such high pressure?
